Apple-Cranberry Salad

This mix of beautiful greens keeps company with apples and cranberries.

Honeycrisp apples bring the sweetness, feta cheese adds a tangy bite, and pistachios offer a satisfying crunch.

Elegant and easy, this hearty dish comes with a side and a sauce all-in-one.

Be sure to brown the chops well so they’ll give the mustardy pan sauce deep flavor.

Fennel is crisp and slightly sweet and caramelizes beautifully when roasted in the oven.

And the apples, an integral part of a Waldorf Salad, didn’t get lost in the mix.
